Guy Harvey's Island Grill
760 N. Collier Blvd., Marco
Decorated in all things fish — rods and reels, tropical aquariums, a wall fountain drizzling behind a hooked tarpon — the interior prepares you for a relaxing meal amid embellishments of Marco Island's favorite pastime: fishing.
Bradley Norden, first heard of Guy Harvey as a child.
"My father was wearing Guy Harvey T-shirts when I was growing up," he said with a smile, never realizing he'd be working for the same man today. Norden, who's been with the Island Grill for a little over a year, and has been promoted to general manager officially on March 10, began his restaurant career when he was 16. Starting out as a busboy and dishwasher, he then moved into food preparation. Gradually, he learned every line cook and chef position, gathering skills as he worked part-time before going off to college. He graduated with a degree in architecture.
"I worked for over a year at an architectural firm, and knew it wasn't for me," Norden said, and began working in a restaurant on his off hours. When the pull was too great, he decided to quit architecture and pursue a full-time career in the restaurant business.
Through the years, Norden's been trained in every aspect of the food service and food preparation business. His extensive background includes Bennigan's, Road House Grill, Carraba's and the Cheesecake Factory. When he heard of Guy Harvey's, he saw the potential in helping establish a restaurant from the ground up.
One of the challenges was developing recipes, and that's where the environmentalist side of Guy Harvey stepped in with a unique twist.
Known best for his colorful, detailed paintings of marine life, Harvey is also a marine biologist, photographer, diver, author, angler and conservationist. He supports catch-and-release ethics for game fish, and refuses to serve in his restaurants any species of fish that has been over-fished, or caught or farmed in ways that harm other marine life or the environment.
To prove his passion, in 1999, he partnered with the Oceanographic Center of Nova University in Ft. Lauderdale to establish the Guy Harvey Research Institute, a non-profit marine research institute to study conservation of fish resources.
According to Harvey's Web site, as the human population grows, the fish population declines. That affects not only commercial enterprises supporting jobs and the world's food supply, but also recreational fishing. And with the recently touted health benefits of eating seafood, the demand for fish has increased. Harvey's studies have resulted in a "fish to eat" program — a list of seafood that is abundant or farmed in environmentally friendly ways.
That's the reason you won't find grouper on the Island Grill's menu, nor will you see Chilean sea bass or Atlantic halibut, or a whole list of "fish to avoid." It's Harvey's way of standing behind what he believes. He explains his position on the menu, and there's a small take-home brochure available for future reference.
"We have red lights on certain fish and our vendors know we won't accept them," said Norden. "And a part of our proceeds from the restaurant goes to fund the Guy Harvey Institute."
Not to worry, though, the menu is packed with a tasty variety of seafood entrees, like mahi mahi, salmon, scallops and shrimp, in addition to beef, chicken and pork. You won't leave the Island Grill hungry!
The most popular dish started out as an appetizer, said Norden, and customers began ordering it as an entrée. Always in tune with customers' feedback, they took the recipe, a lightly breaded fried shrimp in a chipotle dressing, made it a larger portion and put it on the menu as an entrée choice named The Last Shrimp Standing.
On the appetizer menu, try two flavors of chicken wings or a grilled shrimp quesadilla with red peppers, red onions and Jack cheese, or a variety of other starters. They offer pasta entrees and salads, even a children's menu. Tropical fish aquariums light the way to two full bars, including a raw bar. At least one weekend night they feature live entertainment.
Besides the Island Grill on Marco Island, Guy Harvey owns restaurants in Key West and Orange Beach, Ala.
"Mr. Harvey usually visits his restaurants once a year. We've had him twice so far," said Norden. He dines at the restaurant and spends time meeting and socializing with the customers. "He introduces himself, shakes hands and speaks to all the employees. He's very cool."
Who doesn't have a Guy Harvey T-shirt? If you're one of the few without one, or your favorite fishing shirt is worn to threads, visit the retail store adjacent to the Grill.
They carry a huge selection of all the latest men's and women's styles, along with towels, hats, mugs, and even small bottles of his special Island Spice if you want to try to duplicate the flavor of your dinner.
When he comes for a visit, Harvey is happy to sign any merchandise in the store. He's even developed a line of fine wines with the labels depicting paintings of his famous ocean wildlife. Of course, the highlight is the vast museum-type array of signed framed prints and original artwork decorating the restaurant and shop — they're all for sale.
Harvey's love and respect for the environment is apparent in all he creates. Not only does dining at Guy Harvey's Island Grill net you a delicious meal, but by making careful choices in what you eat, you help conserve our ocean and its inhabitants, as well.
Guy Harvey is a man who puts his money where his mouth is — literally.

Our Saturday series focusing on the Magic's position battles heading into their Oct. 1 training camp continues.
TODAY: Shooting guard.
Arron Afflalo enters camp as the starter, largely uncontested.

But he knows the Magic are making a significant commitment to rookie Victor Oladipo's development, and that he also could be trade bait at any stage of their rebuild.
Afflalo's name was circulated in trade rumors this summer, although a deal between the Magic and the Los Angeles Clippers involving point guard Eric Bledsoe never materialized.
This is probably amusing to everyone but Arron: The Magic are so young that he's perceived as some sort of expendable, grizzled graybeard.
The fact is, he doesn't turn 28 until Oct. 15. He's in his prime, starting his seventh NBA season.
Arron just looks out of place on the Baby Magic (as does Jameer Nelson or anybody else over 21).
His contract is modest by NBA standards, but a retooling club is always open to clearing some long-term salary for free-agent targets. Afflalo will make $7.5 million this season and next season, and he has a player option at $7.9 million for 2015-16.
Afflalo still should be viewed accordingly: He's a dependable scorer and defender who can offer the occasional all-star-type outing.
He was a proven commodity that the Magic received in the massive Dwight Howard trade last summer, arriving from Denver after a three-year stay with the Nuggets.
Afflalo averaged 16.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. With so much youth and inexperience surrounding him, shots were available, and he attempted a career-high 14.1 per game.
He shot a shade under 44 percent, but was cold from the 3-point line, going 72-of-240 (30 percent). He also struggled with turnovers and finishing plays at times.
Afflalo surely had his moments: dazzling 30-point gems in wins in his hometown of L.A., against the Lakers and Clippers; a 28-point night in a close loss to the defending champion Heat; and a 29-point effort against the New York Knicks.
The Magic lost Afflalo's primary back-up when reliable J.J. Redick was traded last season to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Oladipo was drafted at No. 2 out of Indiana University, where he was primarily a shooting guard. The club experimented with him at the point during summer-league games.
He showed his tremendous athleticism and got to the rim at will, shooting 10 free throws per game. He struggled with his ball-handling and shot just 39 percent.
In formulating their future plans, the Magic will try to get an idea what position might best suit Oladipo. Like any rookie, he'll be handling the transition from college and making adjustments playing against some of the league's elite players.
Chances are the Magic will play him at both the 1 and the 2, backing up Nelson or Afflalo, respectively. Oladipo could also play shooting guard while Afflalo moves over to small forward for stretches. Any time Oladipo is on the floor, the Magic should have a strong perimeter presence on the defensive end.
If Oladipo spends time learning to play the point, the Magic can use E'Twaun Moore or Doron Lamb as reserves at the 2 behind Afflalo.

My research explores the interplay between race, gender, and popular culture in nineteenth and twentieth century North America. The continual display of negative racial and gendered stereotypes in mass culture is an active part of my research and teaching interests. My current project expands W.E.B. Dubois' theory of double consciousness by illuminating how his concept holds within the context of black performances for white audiences in the plantation South. Specifically, I review the numerous performances within the plantation economy to display the manner in which music and dance became associated with blackness and led to stereotypes. I propose that these performances legitimized and perpetuated white hegemony over blacks, while at the same time providing a channel to exercise agency in the black community. The main questions I ask are: Why are enslaved blacks dancing and singing in the Southern slave society and how are these performances perceived by whites? My research allows me to further understand the misconceptions of race and gender that are ever present in today's society.
While I am a trained historian, I often take an interdisciplinary approach to my research and incorporate methods and theories from cultural studies, mass media, performance studies, diasporic research and literature. My research and teaching concentrations range from popular culture in the nineteenth century to present-day racial images in mass mediums of television, film, music and advertisement.

It's been more than two years since Elizabeth Guinea sold a percussion bell set through Amazon.com.
The Frankfort native apparently will not receive her money, and is out the set as well.
The botched transaction started in August 2010, when Guinea posted the set for $179.49. It sold Aug. 29, 2010, but things soon began to unravel.
On Oct. 16 of that year, Amazon notified Guinea that the buyer was unhappy. Although Guinea had accurately described the percussion set in her Amazon posting — stating it did not come on wheels — the buyer was upset the set arrived wheelless.
Guinea said she printed the description of the set as it had appeared on Amazon and sent it to the online giant.
For almost two years, she heard nothing from Amazon.
This summer, she went to sell some used textbooks through Amazon and noticed that although the percussion set sale went through, her account was not credited.
About the same time, July 30, she received an email from Amazon.
"This notice serves as confirmation that we have initiated a refund in the amount of $179.49 to (the buyer) for the following item: One percussion bell kit with bag, stand and practice pad."
Guinea was stunned. She had heard nothing from Amazon since October 2010, and at no point was she told the buyer's money would be refunded.
Hours after receiving the email from Amazon, Guinea fired off a reply.
She pointed out that the buyer still had the percussion set and now had the money as well.
"I do not feel (the buyer) should get this for free," Guinea wrote. "It also makes me very upset that Amazon just took the money out to give them without contacting me to tell me what was going on with this."
Later that night, Andres, an account specialist at the company, wrote Guinea.
He said the customer had disputed the transaction with his or her credit card company in 2010. On Oct. 16, 2010, the buyer's credit card company ruled in the buyer's favor and reversed the charges that had been paid to Amazon.
"The refund amount was not deducted from your Amazon Payments account until now, mostly likely because sufficient funds were not available," Andres wrote. "Per the Amazon Seller Participation Agreement, we reserve the right to seek reimbursement from sellers if we receive a chargeback from a buyer's credit card issuer."
Andres signed the email "Thank you for selling with Amazon.com."
Some thank-you, Guinea thought.
Guinea said she called Amazon and asked what happens to her percussion set.
"They said, 'You just don't get that back,'" Guinea said.

Sometimes I think I lost something really important to me, and it turns out I already ate it.
I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry about the cycling race. Team GB just had a hard time controlling a race this long and hard with only a "4 man" team. They gave it a massive effort, and even got some help from other Sky team members, but this is the sort of race where a 9 man team would have made a lot of difference.
Poor Cav, very disappointed for him and I know he'll feel like he let people down, but it was just an unpredictable race.
I was at work and watching on the stream with no commentary. I could tell Cance was badly banged up the way he was riding after the crash. Is it a collarbone or can he still ride the TT?

Breaking News: Korean who was originally DQed for a false-start has won his appeal and been re-instated into the final of the 400 free in swimming knocking Canada's Ryan Cochrane out.
NOT impressed with the news... I watched the video and the bugger clearly moved before the gun went off... Blatant disregard for the rules by FINA . It doesn't matter to me that a Canadian was knocked out, had it been an American, a Brit, whoever, that person should be in the finals because the Korean false started...
Vino is such an unrepentant doper that it's easy to be annoyed at his win, but he's also such a fun racer with such an aggressive style that there's almost something admirable. He always animates a race - and who else would go out in a kit with a picture of themselves on it (he even had matching ones for his kids)

NBC all (of course) about Phelps barely making it out of his prelim into 400 IM final (8th place). But I was wondering if Cseh not even getting in (finished 9th) is also a biggie, or is he kind of past his time. [Sorry, if there's a separate swimming thread I didn't see it.]

Yes, I was hoping Cav would get a medal. I was never really on the Cavendish train until this year. Not sure what won me over- maybe because switching teams meant the sprints weren't such a slam dunk this year.

Hartleys 26.3.14.
Now if there is one sale I needed to view for reference it had to be Hartleys 26.3.14, but 250 miles away to view a possible contemporary Toby jug, the car said "No". I have only ever once bought a similar model to this sailor which was the flat hat type and grew to disliked it. There were only two Toby jugs in the sale, one was a standard Leeds traditional Toby jug, it looked very clean with good mould definition and realised a respectable £550. The other was a blue and white sailor that had damage and was the one that really concerned me. Were others also having the same doubts because £840 is a shallow price difference that bears no relation for their considered rarity status. The auction house catalogued it c1900, so the valuer must have thought it to be late given its clinical white look, although it must be said that the traditional Leeds Toby Jug circa 1785 was also offered dated as c1900. The hat (sailor) was broken off and stuck back on, all to often we see major damage on these jugs. It had one asset going for it, there was a detatchable hat/measure, unfortunately enquiring for more detail found this to be glued in position so only the top shape is visible for inspection. These Toby jugs can be seen offered for sale with a date of 1790 which is the time when the Woods were potting, this Ralph Wood model is clearly not made by them, the measure alone being very reminiscent of our friend the light bulb, the original one being much squarer. That's all I can say about a missed opportunity to an ongoing reference project that would have shed more light on these blue and white Toby Jugs.There will never be a substitute for handling. Well done Hartleys for erring on the side of caution.

Bonhams Oxford.2.4.14.
Offered for sale at Bonhams was a collection of early jugs and mugs, eight of the lots being Toby jugs. These had been shipped in from abroad and carried an extra penalty of 5% on top of the 25% commission plus vat already payable on the first £10000.
Its at this point I usually describe the ensuing excitement when the first Toby jugs are offered, surely collectors have saved there money for this sale considering the poor results from the Woolley and Wallis auction? ......No.
Well how many collectors were in the room?..... None.
What about bids left on the book.? ....................None
But there is always interest from the phones.....interest on only one lot from one phone.
The internet then? ......one bidder for one lot..... one bidder for three lots.
Overall the Toby jugs were all badly damaged and received little interest, the reserves were set ambitiously high ultimately resulting in artificial respectable prices for the ones that did sell.
Controversial Long Face Toby Jug.
It has been two years since we first wrote the article Contemporary Toby jugs part one. We haven't seen any of these controversial Toby jugs sold in that time until this week and it was interesting to see how collectors viewed them. The two long faces were offered at separate auctions and were important for different reasons. The white example can be compared to both the enamel and the Pratt-ware one discussed in our article, they share more features of both which leaves little doubt that they are potted by the same pottery. The article will be updated in due course. The other one (left) had all the usual characteristics and colours we come to expect on the common model. Catalogued with a date of 1800 with an estimate of £500-600 it failed to receive a bid and will no doubt be offered again at a later date.....See More

If you are thinking about buying an early enamel Traditional Toby jug then this is the sort you should look for. Probably Neale and Co or Scottish. This Toby had a few condition issues but looked superior in quality to that poor other marked Neale Toby jug Ref D4 news 2013. It realized a £400 bid.
Wallis auctions. sale 25.2.14
Last week saw the sale of a private collection of toby jugs at Woolley & Wallis, Salisbury Salerooms, I was unable to attend the auction but was aware of the collection having viewed it earlier. It was always going to be unpredictable having had Fieldings successful auction of the Mackintosh toby jugs within two weeks. The results appear to be disappointing although there were a couple of surprises and these were picked up by collectors through our post. One thought he had missed something special in the two Leeds type jugs lots 446 and 452 which did rather well regarding price. I suggested that they reacquaint themselves with our article. "The Humble Leeds", I like to think or hope that collectors find our articles useful in the pursuit of good toby jugs. The collection offered were an eclectic mix from contemporary to early running glaze and all in differing states of quality. There was one special traditional toby, that has to be revered by its new owner, as rare as a Standing Postillion masquerading as a Hearty Goodfellow, this toby would take pride of place in any collection and would always be a talking point, it is of course Ricky Gervais, (lot 449 bid £420), the beard making him a sure give-away. The few serious highlights were, a Ralph Wood type with unusual coloured blue coat and restored hat (Lot 480 £1100), the price well in line with others recently sold of this popular model. A full multicoloured Leeds toby made £900 (shown left) and a traditional Leeds at £420. A Prattware Long-Face £800 and a very heavily restored pale discoloured Step Whieldon £800. The prices overall seemed depressed to previous sales which could be seen all to clearly in all ordinary examples. Lot 441, a common later copy Yorkshire type so often sold as c1800 for £400 only realised £190, a considerable drop in any standard. This theme continued with a Walton Hearty Goodfellow at £300 and a Traditional Walton at £250, commission on all lots was 22% plus VAT. The full auction catalogue can be viewed with all illustrations at Woolley and Wallis Saleroom, Salisbury. Pottery Porcelain & Glass sale.25th February 2014.
There were two Rodney's Sailor toby jugs offered that were not the best examples. They were previously sold at auction in the last ten years giving us the opportunity to compare prices. The early running glaze Sailor lot 447 was first sold at Skinner's, USA sale in 2006 for £1651.35 + shipping and import charges. ($3055/ Dollar Rate 1.85=£1/ Lot 271. Coil Collection 15th -July-2006). The hat was broken in several pieces and repainted, there were numerous other cracks to the jug, this realised £1200 plus commission. The enamel Sailor lot 451 was sold at Halls, Shrewsbury in 2008 for £1900 total. It started out with a deep blue coat which has now changed to turquoise, the hat was completely replaced (poorly) and numerous other damage, it realised £700. Acquiring the two toby jugs from dealers and assuming a 25% profit margin with a 10% vendors fee, a fair modest calculation of the two jugs show a total loss of approximately 65%. Condition seems to have taken its toll when compared to the buoyant prices of the Mackintosh jugs. Although not a better investment than money in the bank at this time, a good collection is achievable at a reasonable cost when sort direct from auction, especially at these prices. The other advantage of buying at auction is that clean items can still be acquired untouched by an unskilled restorers hand.
This sale had excellent detailed condition reports provided by Clare Durham, as did Fieldings provided by Nicholas Davies & Will Farmer. How refreshing to have accurate condition reports, the few auctions that merely state, "well it looks all right to me" have to change.

High Road Auctions 14.2.14
www.highroadauctions.co.uk/ A nice little Sinner toby jug has just been sold for a bid of £300 at High Road Auctions. (Walton type Staffordshire). This price should be near to what the jug is worth when taking into account the additional costs involved to repair it. Very good enamel decoration but looks to have the hat broken and reattached.
Fieldings Auctioneers, Sale date 8.2.14.
Mackintosh provenance toby jugs: Staffordshire pottery at its best.
It's always nice to meet up with collectors/dealers when viewing a sale that once was our local several years ago. We received some nice comments from collectors that our site is helping them in the pursuit of good quality jugs at auction, this is encouraging. Like the Grantham sale, fresh to the market items always create interest, in this case four desirable Mackintosh toby jugs which must have been bought directly by the vendor from the 1967 ceramic sale. The first of the Staffordshire toby jugs and subsequent models that were ordinary had a lukewarm reception. This soon changed to intensity with the offering of the first Mackintosh toby jug lot 204 (left). I can't recall having seen this form of toby jug from this potter in forty years of dealing, wonderful. A low reserve meant there were no telephones bids but that didn't deter it making a bid of £2300. The second Mackintosh toby jug lot 205 was a Ralph Wood hooked nose toby, rich in colour and in mint condition it was contested by six telephones and numerous bids from the floor and book, a bid of £2300 achieved. Lot 207 was a Mackintosh Ralph Wood 51 impressed raised cup, wonderful aubergine coat but a little over burning to the base. With just age related wear and pleasing face it was bid again to £2300, quite expensive when compared to a similar better example sold in South Ken. (sale news/ref.A9.2013). The last of the Mac jugs was lot 213, a traditional Staffordshire model toby with raised cup face. This had a pleasing colour combination and good mould although there was a little age related wear around the base. It received a bid of £2100, a little expensive for an ordinary model that is common. Remember, any attempt to restore some of the age related wear will DEVALUE your toby jug. Please don't do it.
The in-between toby jug lots I felt were dragged upwards from the fallout of the Mackintosh name. A poor quality traditional running glaze toby jug with measure, lot 208 was over-burnt all over, it was bid to £1050. Lot 213, a Ralph Wood impressed 51 raised cup had its skewift tri-corn hat replaced, possibly from another damaged toby, it realised a bid of £1200. There was an unusual toby jug (lot 210), that from the internet illustration looked to be Russian in origin, it wasn't. It was huge in size and had late gold highlights suggesting a date of 1880 onwards, unusual. Please write if you know the potter.
The desirable sleeper at the sale should it have been in good un-restored condition was lot 206, a Prattware Postillion toby which is illustrated on the auction preview. The whole hat had been restored (wrong shape) and the cup and right hand were replaced. It made £1400 bid. This far exceeds the price achieved by an enamel small Postillion that was recently sold in a multiple lot of five for a mere £188 inclusive at Bonhams in Oct 2012. Small enamel Postillion condition (Bonhams): Considerable damage/restoration to the hat, face, handle and the base.

Half the fun of collecting Toby jugs is having the opportunity to be able to research a little of their history. Today this is often lost unless recorded in a saleroom catalogue on dispersal of the collection. In the past things were very different, Granny's sale would be local gossip, especially if some of her contents made prices that stood out from every day living costs. That antique Toby jug along with a little history of the owner would be reported in the local weekly columns. Sadly those days have gone, but Granny's treasured heirlooms still come on to the market with yellowing newspaper cuttings that can still be found screwed up and forgotten inside the Toby jug. These can make interesting reading and could turn up some fascinating facts about previous owners. Provenance can increase the value of your Toby jug and the temptation to delve into the past can be inspiring resulting in some great conversational stories which are a real bonus. A recent viewing of two special Toby jugs complete with news cuttings turned out to be very interesting. They were Toby's that should be on everyone's wish list, rare and sharing several unusual features, these two fresh to the market Toby jugs had to be originally purchased before collecting became fashionable. The cuttings were from the Daily Telegraph & Morning Post. Saturday Nov. 24, 1951 and read...The late W. H. Berry, the comedian, formed a small collection of Staffordshire Toby jugs which fetched £531.00. two realising £66.00 each. Another Toby jug by Ralph Wood from an unnamed owner was sold for £190. The two Berry collection Toby jugs both had stickers to their bases reporting to be potted by Ralph Wood but were in fact Prattware. William Henry Berry (23 March 1870-2 May 1951). Billed as W. H. Berry an English comic actor. Born in London at the age of fourteen was apprenticed to a theatre booking agency, through which he acquired free seats for west end plays and musicals. Trained in concert entertainment and pierrot he appeared in musical comedy and comical character roles. One of his finest was as "Mr. Meebles", an unfortunate magistrate in the musical production of "The Boy" in 1917. He was heard on radio within the first few months of launching the BBC, and was still broadcasting well into the late 1930's. As his skills of performing developed he was invited into productions including: The Merry Widow.1907, Havana.1908, A Waltz Dream.1908 and The Dollar Princess.1908. His stage and radio work saw several return castings with Mr. Micawber being broadcast in 1938. He died in Herne Bay at the age of 81 with The Times obituary published 4th May 1951 page 8. Like other collectors from the entertainment world his interest might have been fuelled by having spare time between performances. Museums, galleries and auctions are numerous especially in London.
Did you manage to catch the new series of the Antique Roadshow this week? "Rouges Gallery" returned with some scary facts. Fergus Gambon and Fiona discussed four pieces of Whieldon type Staffordshire pottery that were displayed where one was supposedly a fake, it certainly fooled me. You can still catch it on I player till the end of the week. The four pieces can be seen below each illustrated with a coloured card for reference. The large tea caddy (green) is a dream, the milk jug (blue) fairly standard with the red teapot being the fake. Now if there is one piece I am not going to buy at any money it has to be the yellow one. Close up the sprig work looks fine but from a distance it looks awkward, gangly, badly assembled with the colours being indifferent, this might be because it has been smashed / restored. Apparently the fake teapot is so good it fooled nearly every expert that a thermoluminescence test was performed. Having replayed the program for a more in depth look I could not really spot much to object to apart that it follows an enamel design. Without handling it is difficult to assess colour and I would not expect the coloured glaze to run evenly accross the base of the feet, they would tend to form drips on the edge. The only other defence you have is to compare weight, size and a good fitting lid. If the teapot is a fake then the running glaze is the best I have seen reproduced. The test technique can be read at http://daybreaknuclear.us/bortolot_faq.html#2 and is by no means 100%. There was no mention of whether the other pieces were tested but what I recall seeing offered at the Top ceramic shows during the 1980's, (Fergus giving the teapot the same date), the effort to create such a quality forgery on such a plain ordinary item, in my opinion, would be counter-productive. This fake teapot is probably linked to similar sold in the Weldon forgery case of the 90's, and it just goes to show it's still buyer beware. Buying antique ceramics can be difficult at the best of times, after wading through the restoration and alterations we now need this thermoluminescence HPI check for complete piece of mind. Before this you should first ask yourself one question. Does the seller really understand or believe what's written on their description.
Antique Staffordshire Pottery for Sale.
One of the best
collections of antique toby jugs I have seen consisted of just six
jugs. They were the finest and rarest Staffordshire Ralph Wood and
Whieldon models you could ever want to own. Positioned central in
a Victorian display cabinet and surrounded by complementary wares
by the same potters, the glass making the running glaze on the jugs
come alive.
It's that thought that has prompted us to include our other antique Staffordshire pottery articles to tempt you into a broader collecting field which will also help with identification.
Why not compliment your Staffordshire toby jug collection with figural pipes. If you study them closely you will find that some are also made as toby jugs.
Staffordshire Toby pepper-pots are lovely things to collect and will not break the bank compared to larger Toby jugs. The Victorians must have started the craze for potting gentlemen and lady folk for our table condiments......
Most Staffordshire pottery had a purpose. Little cows with holes in their mouths and detachable stoppers on their backs were produced to pour cream. The Hanley museum Stoke on Trent Staffordshire display a wonderful collection.
This charming little bull baiting group by Obadiah Sherratt is slightly smaller in size than the titled "Bull Beating" "Now Captin Lad" Not to everyones taste but still very collectable, it realized £2500 at Sworders auctions 4.3.14.
It's not often you come across a good pair of Staffordshire Pipe Smoking Dogs.
Slightly smaller in size to normal and are of Disraeli type. The inspiration for this charming pair is from the artist Sir Edwin Landseer, "A Quite Pipe" circa 1829. Sold at Rupert Toovey auctions.

Yellow Leaf creates positive social change through insanely comfy hammocks. We want you to be able to"hammock" anywhere.
Who are we?
Yellow Leaf Hammocks was founded with two objectives in mind: 1) to help stressed out Americans have fun, relax and tap into their creativity and 2) to foster sustainable economic development for marginalized communities, while simultaneously combating social ills like child labor and deforestation.
We are committed to spreading positive social change on all fronts: economic, environmental, social & cultural- all from the comfort of a hammock!
Our artisan weavers come from one of the poorest, most exploited communities in Northern Thailand. Through the creation and sale of their insanely comfy, expertly crafted hammocks, they have been empowered to change their trajectory and overcome the obstacles that have plagued them- slash & burn deforestation, families forced into servitude in back-breaking toxic agriculture and a complete lack of economic opportunity.
What is our project?
For a long time now, we've believed that everyone should be able to hammock year-round (yes, even in the winter). Unfortunately, not too many living rooms come equipped with tree branches strong enough to hold a hammock and traditional hammocks are too big to put indoors anyways.
So we went to the drawing board and created a fresh, modern piece of furniture that will support our recliner-esque Sitting Hammock in about the same footprint of floor space that a regular armchair would take up (4 ft. footprint!). We worked with a Swiss textile engineer (so you know it's good) to develop the Sitting Hammock (think La-Z-Boy version of a hammock - it's part tree swing, part recliner that stretches out to full body length - 7 ft)!
We're raising funds through Kickstarter to build the prototype and initiate manufacturing for this freshly designed Hammock Stand.
You will have the option to choose from three wood and three metal finishes.
We've created a stand that fits perfectly with the fun, fresh aesthetics of our hammocks. Like a Yellow Leaf Hammock, our design is weatherproof, eco-friendly, finely crafted and built to last.
This hammock can replace an armchair in the home or out on the deck and will create an oasis of calm where hammockers can kick back & truly relax- all year round, anywhere they choose.
With our customizable variety of finishes, this stand can suit a range of styles, from shabby chic to modern loft. Our wood options include renewable bamboo and reclaimed industrial oak beams, carefully cleaned and finished to preserve the hallmarks of beauty and strength. For more information on stands and custom finishes, please visit our FAQ.
The stand will be manufactured in the U.S. by local artisans, with a simple three-step home assembly process.
Tell Me More About These Hammocks...
As a social enterprise, we know we can only continue to grow and do good by making our customers very happy people.
Luckily, Yellow Leaf Hammocks are amazing products: insanely comfy, incredibly durable, strikingly beautiful, seriously strong and expertly crafted by hand. (That's like the apex of awesomeness for hammocks!)
Insanely Comfy
Our weaves have been technically engineered to contour to your body and leave you feeling lighter than air. The close-knit, free-flowing weave shifts with your movements to support you in any position and our yarn is cashmere soft.
Expert Craftsmanship
To achieve this level of unmatched comfort, each Yellow Leaf Hammock is 100% handwoven by an expert artisan weaver. It can take up to 10 days of work, 150,000 interwoven loops, and 4 and a half miles of yarn to create our most intricate designs!
Seriously Strong
Although Yellow Leaf Hammocks appear delicate, they can actually support up to 550 lbs! Our superstrong microyarns are interlooped into our signature Triple Weave, a proprietary design that offers triple reinforcement at each connection point.
Incredibly Durable
A Yellow Leaf Hammock will endure through the seasons. These hammocks are weatherproof, and colorfast too! Their bright colors do not fade. Unlike other hammocks, they won't break down or pill.
Each hammock comes in its own tote, made out of eco-friendly repurposed parachute material. All of our hammocks weigh 1-3 lbs, so they pack up perfectly for a day in the park or out on the boat.
How Do I Design my Own Custom Hammock?
One of the most unique, exciting things about Yellow Leaf Hammocks is that they are completely customizable. If you have an idea, we can create a one-of-a-kind, freshly woven hammock to help you show your true colors to the world.
You can design your hammock from the yarn up! You will be able to select the size of hammock that suits your lifestyle, then select the colors you like best- or choose from our existing catalog!
Your inspiration can come from anywhere: your favorite sports team, a beloved work of art, the color scheme in your kid's room.
If you have more questions about designing a custom hammock, please check out that section of our FAQ.
After the campaign closes, our "Hammock Concierge" will walk you through the design process.
All you need to do for now is select your size:

Very Special Thanks to our Producer & Videographer Matt Harkins, Designer & Engineer Bryce Gibson and Artist & Model Emily Smith.
Yes, a Yellow Leaf Hammock will make an awesome Christmas gift. If we are fully funded when the campaign ends on December 18, we will mail out a specially designed gift card the next day. We will contact you to make sure we have the correct shipping information and you can decide whether you want the package sent to your home or directly to the recipient.
This is a GREAT way to give a Yellow Leaf Hammock. With the special gift card in hand, they will be able to consider their design choices and put their hammock into production when the time is right for them. And once they have their custom hammock strung up, they will be able to appreciate your thoughtfulness all over again!
Once the project is funded, we will contact you for your shipping information and begin shipping out rewards. Our limited edition T-shirts will be sent out in early January.
We anticipate it will take about 2-3 months from the end of the campaign to finalize our prototype and deliver the FIRST RUN of hammock stands!
Yes. For international shipping, please include a $30 shipping charge with your pledge. All of our shipments are carbon free through our partnership with the Carbon Fund.
Sitting Hammock Hammock:
Optimal Hanging Width: 3.75 ft.
Optimal Hanging Height: 5.5 ft.
Queen Size Hammock:
Bed dimensions: 6 ft. L x 7.5 ft. W
Optimal Hanging Distance: 9-10 ft.
Optimal Hanging Height: 5.5 ft.
King Size Hammock:
Bed dimensions: 7 ft. L x 9 ft. W
Optimal Hanging Distance: 10-11 ft.
Optimal Hanging Height: 5.5 ft.
For now, all you need to do is pick out the size you'd like- King, Queen or Sitting.
After the campaign closes, we will contact you and walk you through the design process- it's simple and fun! Most people tell us the hardest part is picking out the colors they want to include, so take a peek at those color swatches up above and start dreaming up your perfect combo!
How they hold up under different weather conditions? Will the colors fade in the sun, and will they deteriorate if left out during rain storms?
That is one of my FAVORITE questions to answer, because our hammocks are some of the most durable ones on the market. The yarn is weatherproof and colorfast, so it will not fade, pill or deteriorate if you leave it outside for a whole "hammocking season." It is also quick-drying, so it's not susceptible to mold or mildew.
We made sure our hammocks could be strung up all season long because we want you to be able to enjoy a few spontaneous moments of hammocking every day, worry-free!
The stand is approximately 43 inches wide and 48 inches long. We designed it to be a replacement for a traditional armchair in your living room or a deck chair out on the patio so it will only take up about a 4 ft footprint!

Braden Holtby – 44 save win. He has been beyond sensational for the Caps. When Tomas Vokoun and Michal Neuvirth went down, so did the Caps chances of winning, in most people's eyes. Holtby has given them the stability between the pipes they have lacked for much of the year.
He is exactly what I love about sports – the unpredictability, the feel-good story, the underdog who comes in and steals all of the attention.
Speaking of – consecutive OT game winners for Mikkel Boedker. To date, his NHL career has been a disappointment based on draft ranking. This could be a break out series/postseason for the skilled Dane winger.
Corey Crawford probably would like both goals back, but they all count for the same on the score sheet.
Antoine Vermette had a helper and a massive 11 hits for the 'Yotes.
Brandon Saad's game line – no points, no shots, 13 minutes of ice time. He played his shifts with Kane and Toews.
Mike Smith was once again sensational. Kudos to Phoenix for recognizing his potential to fit their system – he was cast aside by the team with the worst goaltending in the league this season. Smith may not have been a fit in Tampa Bay, but you can bet many in that organization are kicking themselves.
Just when you think Martin Brodeur is done…..
Zach Parise was everywhere for the Devils. He had a goal, three shots on goal, and five hits.
The AHL postseason is underway…
Teemu Hartikainen had five shots and a goal for the OKC Barons. He'll be on the Oilers next season, and could be in the top six. Edmonton loves his mix of size, skill, and two-way play.
Anton Lander also had a goal and five shots for the Barons.
Joe Colborne had two helpers for the Marlies, as they took their first game 4-3 over Rochester.
Florida prospect Nick Bjugstad hasn't decided if he is going to turn pro yet.
"A source close to Bjugstad said he remains undecided on what he will do, leaning one way one day, the other way the next day, so he is giving himself more time to be sure.
The Florida Panthers, who took him in the first round of the 2010 NHL draft, have told him the decision is his. He could have already signed with them and been playing for the Panther's AHL affiliate, San Antonio."
Bjugstad projects as a point-a-game center capable of playing in all situations.
Congrats to Reagan (known as Rayzin on DobberHockey) for winning $100 to The Fan Zoo. Someone will be in touch with you to give you your price.
Should the Tampa Bay Lightning trade for Roberto Luongo? Incredibly early speculation, but an interesting read nonetheless.
"If the Lightning do pull off this trade it will not help the defense in front of goal, which was just a big of a problem this season as the goaltending. Instead of pulling in a true, top-pair defensemen they would have to rely on internal players or second-tier players similar to ones already on their roster. Should Hedman be part of the package heading back to Vancouver an argument could be made that the defense would be weaker. Bringing in a world-class goalie doesn't do any good if he has to make 35-40 saves on a nightly basis. That's a recipe that will lead to a lot of 5-4 games.
What pieces would the Lightning have to send back to Vancouver for their embattled goaltender? Probably one of their first round picks this year or next year, a high-caliber prospect and a roster player with a significant salary-cap number. At first blush, Lecavalier would be the albatross contract going the other way, but there is no way the Canucks take the $7.7 million hit for a player that doesn't really fit into their line-up. Their top two centers (Henrik Sedin and Ryan Kesler) are signed long-term and Lecavalier won't be brought in to be a third-line pivot man."
Now that Mark Scheifele's OHL season has ended, he has been assigned to Winnipeg's AHL affiliate. It will be interesting to see how he handles the pro game. The IceCaps are facing off against Anaheim's AHL affiliate in Syracuse in the first round of the AHL postseason.
Scheifele likely won't suit up until game three though, as the first two games are in Syracuse and he doesn't have a Visa to play in the States.
Ivan Telegin, Scheifele's Barrie teammate and another Winnipeg prospect, injured his knee during the final game of the Colts playoff run and won't report to the IceCaps.
More press for Ottawa prospect Jakob Silfverberg. He won the SEL playoff MVP title, and led his team to the league championship, too.
"During the season, Silfverberg scored 54P (24G, 30A) in 49GP and was named the league's MVP--a feat he followed up by earning playoff MVP honours, as well. He had 20P (13G, 7A) in 17 playoff games, his 13 goals surpassing the record set in 2005 by none other than Daniel Alfredsson.``
Mike Babcock doesn`t think Nicklas Lidstrom will retire this summer.
Lidstrom's coach, Mike Babcock, covered both sides of the coin when he was asked about it today. "I'd be shocked if he retires," Babcock said. "But I've been shocked before."
Due to a Coldplay concert, the Canucks and Kings won`t play game five until Sunday. Not sure the extended break benefits either team.
Rookie Zack Kassian will likely sit out game five – he has looked overwhelmed with the speed of the NHL game. To be fair, he is seeing very, very limited minutes, and it is tough to do much when your job is to chip the puck in and skate to the bench. That being said, the Canucks may opt for more of a veteran presence with Byron Bitz.
This doesn`t change Kassian`s long term value at all – he wasn`t expected to play much of a role in the run this spring. Makes the Cody Hodgson trade more interesting, as he would be a nice piece on Vancouver`s second PP unit. He would have had serious troubles at even strength against the size of LA`s centers, though.
Speaking of Vancouver prospects… NicKlas Jensen`s AHL debut has gone about as well as anyone could have anticipated. He plays the game like Rick Nash (not the same upside, obviously) – big, good skater, and very patient with the puck. His upside is intriguing – I didn`t think he looked out of place during preseason action last fall.
Jensen had two goals in Chicago`s first playoff game against San Antonio after recording a hat trick in the final regular season game.
Slava Voynov has been LA`s most dangerous defenseman this series – he is better defensively than you would think, too (playing with Willie Mitchell definitely helps in that regard). He`s big, a good skater, and confident with the puck on his stick. The Jack Johnson trade opened up a spot for him, and he is more than ready for it. He may overtake Drew Doughty as LA`s go-to offensive guy if Drew can`t right the ship next season.

Nick said:
Tuuka Rask and Brian Elliott are definitely not on the open market to be had in a trade, Whoever wrote that belongs on hockeybuzz.
And to say Kassian's long term value isn't affected by his poor play is naive. He will continue to look overwhelmed by the speed of the NHL game his entire career. The guy is a sloth on skates.

I effectively realized that I have jock itch last Tuesday, and so I promptly bought the CVS version of Lamasil AT (with with the anti-fungal Terbinafide). I followed the directions on the tube, once a day after using soap and water for a week. However, it has been a week, and now the tube is empty! My jock itch also hasn't shown any clear signs of slowing up. It is still a large reddish ring around my groin folds extending to my thighs.
My question is: should I go to a doctor?
Should I buy another tube of Terbinafide?
Or should I try the other anti fungal at CVS?
Is this unusual?
-Note, I am 95% sure it is jock itch. I have all of the symptoms and the characteristic rash. Any and all help is greatly appreciated! This thing is horrible.
I had great luck with Monistat Derm 2% cream in the past. I would recommend giving it a try.
to follow the yeast diet.There is a paper back 'The Yeast Syndrome'
and since I read it and followed the diet and used internal lamisal pills from my Doc not only did it all go away but my toe nails didn't crack or warp anymore and I had a lot more energy!
Turns out I had systemic yeast. that's right a yeast infection throughout my entire body. Women are not the only ones who get the yeast.
So,no sugar,no simple carbs in your diet anymore.
Read the book.You will be surprised about the info on yeast and how it affects our bodies.
If you are still experiencing these symptoms, then please seek a doctor's examination. According to this Jock Itch Overview , this form of ringworm can normally be treated with OTC creams and powders, but should be seen by a doctor if the "infection that does not go away, is severe, or comes back."
Wishing you relief in the near future and hope that you keep us posted!
Please let us know how it turns out.
Jock itch, if i sat more than an hour, red bumps would appear
all over my buttocks and on the inside of my leg.
If I would sit in a sauna, there would be a big red scales in
between my nut sack. I tried all kinds of creams, the problem
would just come right back. Creams and Sprays from various products seemed to have contributed to sedated the bacteria and put it to "sleep". Perhaps this is the marketing strategy from the company's products or they simply are not strong enough to kill the anemic problem. One day i looked at the hand sanitizer on my bathroom sink and thought "Alcohol kills about anything". I took a paper towel and put the alcohol on the red areas. The area that i applied the alcohol to, immediately felt like my bare skin was over a hot campfire with red burning coals. My nuts felt like they were on fire. No wonder alcoholics and their livers, deteriorate into a small warped plum because alcohol is so potent against any type of anemic skin rash. Very effective and instant sterilization occurred.
Use a blow dryer on your pubes after you shower, then apply LOTRIMIN. Sleep nude if you can
I have four boys, all for some reason suffered (and the younger two still do, as they are in HS sports) from Jock Itch. I also recommend CLEAN feet and putting on socks BEFORE you put on your pants or underwear, as athletes foot fungus can spread to your dick and balls.

Political activists unhappy with a unanimous decision by the Iowa Supreme Court that a statute prohibiting same-sex civil marriages is unconstitutional showed their displeasure by removing the three justices who were on the ballot in 2010.
A similar effort this year failed to oust Justice David Wiggins.
More than 54 percent of Iowa voters cast their ballots in favor of retention Tuesday.
For proponents of judicial independence and integrity in Iowa, this is good news indeed.
In 1962, Iowa adopted a system for selecting judges that is designed to maximize the quality of jurists while keeping the appointment and retention process free of politics.
Nonpartisan selection commissions review the qualifications of potential judges and forward to the appointing official or body recommended finalists. In the case of justices of the Iowa Supreme Court and District courts, the governor makes the final choice.
Periodically, voters are afforded the chance to vote on whether or not judges should remain in office.
Thanks in part to the demagoguery of Sioux City businessman and perennial candidate Bob Vander Plaats, judicial retention elections for justices are viewed by some voters as a referendum on whether same-sex marriages should be legal in Iowa.
During a visit to Fort Dodge Sept. 26, Vander Plaats railed against Wiggins and fellow justices "legislating from the bench," implying that the same-sex marriage decision would be the first of a series of assaults on the rights of Iowans.
The recall mechanism was intended as a way to remove jurists who have proved exceptionally flawed. It was not designed to be a referendum on any particular judicial decision.
With the vote to retain Wiggins, Iowa has taken a large step toward returning to this intelligent design.

As the Internet continues to expand, Verisign is committed to creating and driving advancements that keep the Internet fast, safe and reliable for all users.
Although Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have become a mainstay of hackers' arsenals, their profile has changed considerably in the past year of so, making them an even greater threat to companies that conduct business online or have significant investments in their online brand and reputation. In the wake of extensive news coverage on the threat of DDoS as a result of last December's high-profile attacks, it is apparent that organisations of all sizes and verticals may be at risk of a DDoS attack.
Verisign has successfully defended its global DNS infrastructure against DDoS and other attacks for more than 10 years, has maintained 100 per cent availability of its .net and .com infrastructure and resolves more than 50 billion DNS transactions per day.

This event is being held for the 48 Sparks senior citizens currently enrolled in the department's Senior Phone Patrol program. In addition to root beer floats, a raffle, classic cars and a DJ, this year's event will include a performance by David Hayes from the Harrah's show "Sammy: Celebrate the Legacy" at 2 p.m.
The Senior Phone Patrol is a free program for senior citizens living in Sparks who prefer their independent living, or do not have family in the immediate area. Every day, the system automatically calls every senior citizen in the program to check their welfare. If the citizen does not personally answer the call, the system alerts police staff who then take necessary steps to locate and ensure the citizen's well-being. Lives have been saved because of this valuable program.
If you or someone you know might be interested in this program, visit www.sparkspd.com or contact the Spark's Police Department Front Desk at 353-2248 for more information or to enroll.

There is an option for a group dinner in the evening (around 7 euros) which makes it really easy to socialize with all the other people in the hostel. They also offer free walking tours that make it really easy to get to know a little bit of the history of Seville--Medi is a wonderful tour guide! Location is great also! I would definitely stay here again. "

Reed scored two runs in the third inning and four in the fourth en route to capturing a 6-2 triumph over the visiting Lancers.
"Our intensity and focus was not there today," Wunder said in a postgame interview. "We started slow, but we did get some timely hits. Our approach at the plate was not good. Luckily, we did cluster some hits together when we had to."
Reed was limited to six hits but a few walks and a pair of costly errors for McQueen helped the Raiders' cause.
The RHS nine broke a scoreless tie with its two third-inning runs. With one out, Cori Gammon singled and stole a pair of bases. After a walk to Makaela Moore, Shivaun Landeros roped a two-run single.
An inning later, Reed extended its edge to 6-0. Junior Danaya Thompson hit a high fly ball to center field that carried out for a leadoff solo homer. Lindsay Yearman followed and reached on an error. She scored on a Megan Dettling single. After a groundout, Gammon singled. Another McQueen error allowed Moore to reach safely while Dettling and Gammon came around to score.
In the four-run frame, only Thompson's long ball served as an earned run. Reed had six hits in the victory but no raider had more than one.
Reed's sophomore pitcher, Dettling, thwarted Lancers hitters all day. Her hurling heroics resulted in a 13-strikeout, three-hit performance. She gave up two runs, only one earned, but did have to work out of jams throughout the contest as she walked six.
"She threw well enough to get the win," Wunder said. "Thirteen strikeouts is certainly nothing to scoff at. That last inning, we could've taken her out, but I thought it was important for her to handle some adversity and she did."
McQueen coach Matt Weaver echoed those sentiments.
"Dettling moved the ball around well," he said. "She kept our kids off balance with the changeup and hit her spots. She did a good job ... And our errors hurt us. It's Reed. You can't even make one error. If you make two errors, you're behind the eight ball. They're a very good team."
McQueen (2-5 Northern 4A) broke up Dettling's shutout bid with a run in the top of the fifth. Alena Wilson walked and circled the sacks after a double by Caitlyn Faulds and a single by Jaqui Martinez.
The Lancers added an unearned run in the top of the seventh. Shania Lawrence reached after striking out but sprinting to first following a Reed error behind the dish. Next, Danielle Stewart singled, but when her liner was misplayed in left field, Lawrence was able to come around to score.
With the win, Reed was able to improve on its perfect mark in conference clashes. The Raiders now sit 6-0 in league and 9-2 overall.
"So far, we have beaten the teams we are supposed to beat," Wunder said. "But that changes now. We are getting into the meat of our schedule, starting with Carson Saturday. We play Carson and Galena, Damonte Ranch and Spanish Springs. It will get tougher ... I think that will help our focus and intensity."

Pink and Blue, All Grown Up
(Images: as linked above)
16 Comments
It makes sense since pink and blue have been popular in men's fashion for about 10 years now (i.e. - Bill Clinton popularized the pink tie and blue suit more than 10 years ago).
I like the rooms in the first and last pics. those I could easily live with. well done.
When I taught design students, I always cautioned them about the "I hate…" statement and other design edicts. Playing with something that is traditionally known as being "for babies," "is garish," or "viewed as tacky" can be the very playground on which they discover an unexpectedly sophisticated, pleasing, or thought-provoking way of approaching something. The use of a traditionally juvenile palette in the sophisticated ways shown above are a great example -- thanks!
I LOVE pics 1, 3 and 4
the other two look so grown up they remind me of my friends middle aged parents' homes I would visit as a teen.
I think they're neat. NOT in colour scheme at home,so I really couldn't incorporate these colours without redoing everything but I am in love the combo.
I get the weirdest feeling that all of these are colorized black and white photos! (Why do they feel that way to me????)
I hate pink. (Sorry @Kbon, but I really really do!) However pinks this pale are almost OK with me. I think I'd like to see the blues a bit more vivid, though. Turquoise, sapphire, whatever, but not so muted. I see potential, but that "colorized" sensation I'm getting makes these examples not work for me so much...
I LOVE pink and think all of these rooms are lovely. To me, blue is almost a neutral, and it is fun to see the two colors working so well together. There's nothing baby about these rooms at all.
As someone who has had to fight for his masculinity most of his life - I'm drawn to neutral palates (as illogical as that might be.) HOWEVER, photo one is very chic and modern (what a chandelier!), photo four has the colors muted by the wood. For me, the wood pops instead of the pink and blue. Does anyone else feel that way?
yes, the wood pops and the colors become neutrals. I love that room. It may sound weird, but I call them "bruise" colors, and they are colors of certain skies. Also they are the colors of an eye shadow palette I had as a teen.
@SHERRYBINNH: Well, sometimes, you just can't fight that feeling! :)
I love the textures and colours!
The most important design tip to draw away from these photos is the sense of balance. Look at how they all incorporate blue and pink. It's not just blue and pink! There are grays, whites, soft and subtle neutrals that really balance the other colors.
Who was it that said, "Every room should have something ugly and something pink?"
That second image from House Beautiful looks incredibly dated. Makes me think of the 80's when my friend's mom did their entire house in mauve and dusty blue. With geese motifs. Happily the other pictures are edging away from that.
Fell in love with this color combo ever since this AT post, and have decided to use it for my master bedroom when I shack up. I love how clean (and with white, almost fancy) the neutrals make the room look and how interesting & inviting the pinks and blues can be, if you use the right shade.
Navy blue and pink is a great combination. In fact, navy blue and any colour is great. All of these rooms are actually neutral - you could substitute the shots of blue and pink with any colour and they would still look good.
Some of these rooms are lovely.
